It's not that they don't drink booze for balance preposes, it's just that Toady hasn't coded it yet.

DF Suggestions / Re: How about bedrolls?

You could make pallets out of leather. A normal starting build generaly has 2-3 wagons and thus 4-6 mules with leather on them. It can also be bought at startup/in bulk from merchants.

I'd like to make enemies and liquids options for what it can and cannot be set off by.

What if children are brought to the library by the writer or a library noble and taught things from the books you have. That way the little buggers will grow up to become craftsdwarfs meatalsmiths and masons instead of just growers and peasants.

At first I thought you meant a singing woman. Then I figured out you ment a loud noise making thing.
Either way, waking dwarfs up is a good idea.
EDIT: Toady reads these, but replying to them would take up a lot of time.

Allow a "Make fire" designation that tells the dwarf to set fire to whatever is on the tile. Use it on leather, beer(in metal barrels), refuse or tallow stockpiles. We can have a bonfire to get water.

DF Suggestions / Re: Priests & religion, revisited (long post)
« on: October 09, 2007, 09:25:00 pm »
I don't like this idea. Gods should be generated during worldgen and religions form around them. No arbitary "5 monotheistic religons per civ".
Your dwarfs should have a religion or not based on thier personality and always have that one unless they convert.
Conversion shouldn't just be at random, it should be based on personality.
Needing a hammer is silly. Maybe a dwarven god would hammers as part of their rituals, but not all of them would.
Not all religions should be violent toward one another.

They wouldn't do anything other than hual clean and fetch water. Not too productive.
Fines sound fine. (puns too)

DF Suggestions / Philosopher noble
« on: March 03, 2007, 10:37:00 pm »
Currently this noble doesn't seem to do much. I suggest he institute justice reforms for nonviolent crimes. A dwarf arrested for mandate violations will have to do comunity service instead of jail or hammerings. A dwarf doing comunity service will preform hualing, cleaning and health care tasks instead of siting in jail.

Bloat10, WHEELBARROWS, (Future): Wheelbarrows could be made and used by haulers to do several jobs at once. The AI for this is complicated though.
Mules working like wheelbarrows would be a good adition to this.

I assumed that there were weighting mechanisms to keep wagons and rats from setting off the trap and safe spots to step on laid out a specially ordered pattern written along the path every few feet in dwarven runes so nobody forgets.

That is what I ment by watering the mushroom. Adding water to the compost.

Most mushrooms aren't going to grow into soild rock. Thats why I suggested you need to use a substrate other than soild rocks that you dampen once a year.
